Temperatures in the car could have reached an oven-like 60C, cops said

“You can imagine a 19-month-old kid stuck in a car, screaming and crying.”

Investigators say Davis got back into the car that afternoon and drove to pick the children’s mum up after her shift – and believe she knew the youngster was dead at the time but did not want to be the one to raise the alarm.

Davis regularly cared for the children and was not drunk or high at the time of Abel’s death, police confirmed.

Cpl Ward added: “I’m sure it was an accident. We’re assuming he may have been asleep that morning when she took him home and she just left him in the car to sleep and forgot about him in there all day.”

Davis is currently being held in the Gallia County jail.

Just last month a baby died “after being left in a car for what could have been five hours”, according to police.

Cops said the mum found the boy in his car seat and started screaming which alerted neighbours who rushed out and performed CPR.

Paramedics arrived and continued first aid but the boy never regained consciousness.
